Great Britain has ever had. The last four years of hard week,

I have been overwhelmed. Those who have been in her shoes say

Rio tonight. Extraordinary success we have seen,

how would you put it into context compared with previous Games?

:08:02.:08:07.

Quite simply, Team GB is on the verge of making history in Rio. We

:08:08.:08:12.

found out several days ago they had enjoyed their best ever away Games

:08:13.:08:16.

and within touching distance of their greatest Olympics ever, home

:08:17.:08:22.

or away, so much for the theory that London 2012's medals were down to

:08:23.:08:27.

home advantage. Proof that Britain is now an Olympic powerhouse and the

:08:28.:08:33.

prospect of more medals, not least Mo Farah in the 5,000 metres later

this evening. Joe Joyce in the final of the boxing tomorrow, among

time it has been a triumph. They look like the best prepared, best

motivated and best resourced of teams. Not everyone agrees with the

:09:02.:09:08.

way UK sport distributes the money to elite sport. There are winners

:09:09.:09:13.

and losers. No doubt it is effective. Andy Murray at Wimbledon,

The sea has also claimed the life of a man in his thirties from Surrey

:09:32.:09:38.

who had been holiday with his family in Cornwall.

:09:39.:09:41.

He and his wife and two-year-old daughter were caught in huge surf

:09:42.:09:43.

after being knocked from rocks at Fistral Beach.

:09:44.:09:45.

From Fistral Beach in Newquay, Andrew Plant, reports

:09:46.:09:48.

50 mile an hour winds make conditions appalling. The family of

:09:49.:09:55.

five from Surrey were fishing from these rocks when the force of the

:09:56.:10:00.

water swept them into the sea. Two children scrambled onto the rocks,

:10:01.:10:04.

the parents and their daughter were unable to swim back in. Horrified

:10:05.:10:09.

onlookers called the coastguard and a rescue helicopter was launched.

:10:10.:10:14.

The mother was pulled from the sea. Her husband and two-year-old

:10:15.:10:18.

daughter pulled onto a lifeboat. The family were treated at dockside and

:10:19.:10:22.

flown to hospital where the dad died a short time later, the two-year-old

:10:23.:10:33.

is in critical condition. Brothers Jacob and were watched as

:10:34.:10:35.

the coastguard fought to save them. We saw the jet ski being launched

:10:36.:10:38.

from astral beach, we knew it wasn't normal because it had a crewman,

:10:39.:10:41.

they had to be going for a rescue. We heard a woman scream in the

:10:42.:10:45.

water. It was quite chilling. We get a lot of fish is on the

:10:46.:10:50.

rocks, so they sit on the rocks. The waves yesterday were really big,

:10:51.:10:56.

families were not expecting it. The coastguard described conditions

is treacherous. When the lifeguards arrived, they

:11:01.:11:04.

were met with huge surf waves in the region of ten feet. Fortunately

:11:05.:11:10.

there were people on the headland who could direct them to whether

:11:11.:11:16.

people were in the water and they found the lady, and the man in the

:11:17.:11:20.

water. The lifeguards were able to recover them and administer first

:11:21.:11:23.

aid. The man has not been named, his wife

:11:24.:11:27.

and two other children have minor injuries. The coastguard is warning

:11:28.:11:35.

people not to take risks in stormy conditions.

Our Scotland correspondent is in Aberdeen. What we know about this

second incident. A mother and her children had been

:11:53.:11:57.

enjoying a reasonable day on the beach. The two boys seemingly

:11:58.:12:01.

playing happily in the water when it would appear the weather took a turn

:12:02.:12:07.

for the worse very quickly. We understand large waves were crashing

:12:08.:12:12.

down around and it was clear both boys got into difficulty. The mother

:12:13.:12:17.

and several people on the beach went in to try to help and several of

:12:18.:12:22.

them got into difficulty as well. A major rescue was launched and five

:12:23.:12:25.

people were pulled from the water, some dragged back to the beach and

:12:26.:12:31.

taken from the water by a lifeboat. They were taken to hospital where

:12:32.:12:37.

the mother and her youngest died, the boy's brother is still in

hospital, his condition is being monitored.

More than 40 people are believed to have died in the last few days.

The war front opened up when Syrian government warplanes started

In other parts of Syria, the government and the Kurds

are fighting together against Isis, but not here.

:13:31.:13:32.

A spokesman for the Syrian regime said Kurdish forces are trying
